Chapter 533


    Hours after hours went by; three solid hours had passed before Myra woke up. The hot spring resort


    operated 24/7, so nobody woke her up. They patiently waited for her to wake up on her own instead.


    When Myra woke up, she did not remember what had happened before this. All she recalled was that


    she had bumped into Matthias at the hot spring resort, and everything else that happened after seemed


    to have faded from her memories. Nevertheless, she simply assumed that her memories were hazy


    because she was too tired.


    This was, in fact, good news to both Heather and Tony. It would be for the best that Myra did not


    remember any of it. At this moment, the awkward atmosphere instantly disappeared and the three of


    them were back toughing and chatting around.


    Although there were still some hard feelings between Heather and Tony, they did not show it in front of


    Myra. As both of them were good actors, they easily concealed it from her.


    Myra beamed at them, causing them to ignore the sh of uneasiness in her eyes, as well as the


    cryptic gaze she had when she looked at Heather ever since she had woken up.


    Both Heather and Tony did not notice her unusualness. They started to act natural when Myra woke up,


    so they were unaware that she had already regained her consciousness before they even noticed it.


    She lowered her eyes so that the other two wouldn’t note the difference in her gaze. Facing two


    masters of disguise, she had her ways to disguise her true feelings too.


    “Let’s head back!” Tony suddenly suggested.


    It waste and they should return home soon. They had spent the whole afternoon at the hot spring


    resort after all. To that, Myra smiled and replied, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep when I return


    home.”


    Tony cast a nce at Heather before he turned to Myra. and when Heather noticed it, she sensibly


    chimed in, “Let’s have some more fun and return hometer, then.”


    Myra agreed to her suggestion, and Tony had no objection either. With that, the three of them—each


    with respective thoughts in mind—got into Heather’s car and drove straight to Zion Club since they had


    not been there for a long time.


    When Elliot was informed that Myra and Tony wereing, he went downstairs to wee them


    personally and saw Heather. Upon seeing them together, he nearly could not believe his own eyes.


    “Tony, Myra, I thought that you two were still abroad. Why didn’t you inform us in advance that you are


    Heather was with them.


    That was because Heather was rumored to be a workaholic. For multiple times, Philip had tried to invite


    her on a date but she kept rejecting him with the excuse that she was busy with work. Now, it appeared


    that she was the first person who learned about Myra and Tony’s return. Elliot truly could not


    understand the rtionship between Myra and Heather.


    “Hello, Miss Langston. We’ve met again. You’re beautiful as always.” Elliot greeted her warmly as he


    was usually extra amiable when it came to beautiful women.


    “Hello, Young Master Elliot,” Heather greeted nonchntly. Her expression was as though frozen for


    the entire day—she was either impassive or wore a stiff expression.


    However, Myra seemed to not mind any of it. After all, when Myra looked at her, she would deliberately


    squeeze out a smile. Tony, on the other hand, seemed unfazed; he only acted like his usual self.


    Nevertheless, after the unpleasant encounter with Matthias and the series of events that came after


    that, which was something that even Tony had no knowledge of, Heather was in an awful mood. Yet,


    she still had to force herself to put on a smile, which exined her stiff expression.


    Her phone was particrly quiet on this day, especially without Myra’s text messages since thetter


    was right next to her. Moreover, Matthias also did not disturb her as they had a conflict earlier.


    There weren’t even Leon’s chatty messages because she had nned to look for him the next day.


    Everything had jumbled up into a big ball of mess, and Heather really wished that she could drop all of


    it and devote herself to herpany instead. She believed that the following day would probably be a


    fresh start.


    Meanwhile, Myra’s appetite was whetted by the delicacies in Zion Club as she could not get such


    authentic local food abroad. She was used to the taste of the food in Bradfort City. Although the foreign


    cuisine was refreshing, it was still no match to that from her hometown.


    Like Heather, Elliot was shocked by Myra’s increase in appetite after returning to the country. While


    devouring the delicacies, Myra discovered that eating scrumptious food would put her in a good mood.


    The more she ate, the fewer worries she had.


    Although the four of them were not as hyped up as they had used to, Myra did not want to go home just


    yet. Therefore, they proceeded to have fun tillte at night. If Tony had not forcefully dragged her away,


    she would have stayed longer.


    In the end, only Elliot and Heather were left behind, staring at each other. Elliot took the initiative to ask,


    “Miss Langston, it’ste. Do you need me to send you back?”


    He felt that he should offer his kindness as a man since Heather had handed her car keys to Tony to


    lend him her car.


    “No.” She rejected his offer without any hesitation nor any words of courtesy.


    “It’s not safe to take a taxi home sote at night.” Elliot continued to show her his concern. He even


    regretted a little for not asking Phillip toe over so that thetter would have the chance to send the


    same time, he thought that with Phillip’s character, the man was probably not going to be a good match


    to Heather, especially having seen how indifferent Heather could be. After some contemtion, he still


    found Lucas a more suitable man for her. In addition, ever since Myra had left, Heather had be


    even more unapproachable and cold—even looking at her expression gave him the chills.


    “I’ll be fine.” When Heather gauged that Tony and Myra had probably left the club by now, she did not


    bother to talk to Elliot further. She stood up at once in an attempt to leave as well. Elliot had wanted to


    disy his kindness, but upon seeing her unfriendliness, his words were stuck in his throat.


    “Young Master Elliot, you can leave.” She emanated an aura that was even colder than Tony’s, making


    those around distance themselves from her.


    Watching as she left, Elliot had a thoughtful look. Women like her were really rare, and she was very

    different from the rumors. ording to the rumors, Heather was smooth and sleek in dealing with


    people, and she had indeed disyed amazing social skills during the day when he first met her.


    However, she seemed strange this time around. He had a hunch that this was her true self, so perhaps


    her perfect social skills were merely a show she put up for the sake of doing business. It was obvious


    that she had a strong desire to seed, which made her apletely different person from Myra.


    He was baffled by friendships between women—Myra had a best friend like Heather and another like


    Estelle. Women surely wereplex creatures. It was fortunate that Tilly wasn’t asplicated as


    them. In contrast, Tilly was simply much more adorable.


    Concurrently, Heather had hailed a taxi and was on her way home. She disliked the shabby-looking


    interior of the vehicle and felt ufortable sitting on the hard seats without a soft cushion. With her


    arms folded across her chest, she pulled a long face that repetitively deprived the young driver of the


    courage to strike a conversation with her.


    Every time he looked into the rear mirror and met her pair of cold eyes, he would swallow back the


    words he wanted to utter. Her gaze alone was enough to send shivers down the spine of anyone she


    was staring at.


    As the car drove along the road, Heather’s face brightened and darkened intermittently under the


    passing street lights. She remained in the same position throughout the journey without the slightest


    change in her expression.


    The youngd almost suspected that he had picked up a beautiful female ghost. When the taxi pulled


    to a stop in front of the Langston Residence, Heather opened the door and handed the driver a note


    worth 100.


    The young man initially intended to give her the change, but she alighted from the taxi without looking


    back, so he went after her as he did not want to take advantage of her.


    There was a bashful expression on his honest-looking face as he spread his palm to hand her the


    money.


    “Here’s your change,” he shyly said.


    Heather could not help smiling faintly and replied, “Just take it as your tips.” She did not take the money


    from him, and her voice sounded angelic in his ears.


    After that, the main gate of the Langston Residence opened at her voicemand and she headed


    inside, leaving the youngd rooted to his spot. Then, he held the money tightly in his hand and


    retracted his extended arm.


    When he nced at thedy from the back again, she was seen entering the door and slowly


    disappearing from his sight. Only then the young man revealed a shy smile. Meeting a stunning woman


    like her made his spirits fly high.


    Heather had no idea that she had be a stunning scenery to someone else and made his day; she


    kept wearing her cold expression as she walked to her room. The day ended at the moment she


    opened the door, and the next day would be a new one.


    Her room was filled with a familiar fragrance, which made her feel rxed both physically and mentally.


    It was yet another awful day. Meeting Matthias had never been good news to her when he kept putting


    her life off track.


    After all, he had disappointed her over and over again. Sometimes, even she could not figure out why


    she would still set her hopes on him despite knowing that he would never do anything to make her


    happy.


    If this was how one behaved upon falling in love with someone, Matthias’ actions made her wonder


    what sort of mortal sins she hadmitted in her past life to gain his love in this life.


    On this night, Heather was able to fall asleep very quickly as she already had ns for the following


    day. She had never officially introduced Leon to the Saffords, hence it would be a good chance to invite


    them out so that she could get them acquainted with one another.


    Early in the morning, she woke up in time and immediately texted Leon. However, she did not receive


    any replies from him, so she thought that he might still be sleeping. Then, she texted Paige a simr


    message to invite her out to Cat Maid Café, where the waitresses dressed up in maid’s outfit and cat


    ears. There were also many cats of various breeds in the café.


    Heather was an animal lover. Although it would be impossible for her to rear one on her own, she still


    enjoyed asionally petting one. When Leon woke up and saw the name of the café, which sounded


    like his cup of tea, he immediately contacted Heather.


    On the other hand, Paige was quite surprised that Heather would invite her over to a ce like that.


    The café was designed with an anime theme, something she did not expect Heather to be fond of.


    Truth was, Heather chose the ce to suit Leon’s preference.


    Of course, Josiah would not go to this sort of a ce, but it was not Heather’s intention to force him to


    go. She just thought to let the two youngsters, Paige and Leon, get to know each other.


    After that, Leon showed up at the café on time. Upon seeing the waitresses in maid costumes and cat


    ears, he could feel his heart racing.


    He arrived a little early this time. Since Heather had yet to arrive, he began his n to flirt with the


    Meanwhile, Heather had gone to Paige’s office to pick her up. When they pushed open the door and


    entered the café, they saw Leon chatting with a waitress.


    Paige spotted Leon at one nce and said to Heather, “I didn’t expect there to be male waiters too.” As


    she thought that there were only female waitresses in maid costumes in the café, she was surprised to


    find a mixed-race young man here.


    Heather burst intoughter at her remark and then waved at Leon. “Leon’s flirting with girls again when


    I’m not paying attention.” Hearing this, Paige turned to Heather in surprise, then nced at the puzzled


    Leon. Finally, it dawned on her that she had made a fool of herself.


    She felt awkward, but Leon was clueless about it and walked up to them. It turned out that he was


    actually quite tall.


    He kept staring at Paige, making her feel embarrassed, while Heather noticed his interest in Paige at


    once. This guy must be contemting if he should pursue her.


    Mercilessly, she stomped on his foot, making him turn to her in pain. “Heather, you’re giving my future


    girlfriend a fright!” With a forced grin, he eximed as he tried to contain the pain, but his frivolous tone


    made Paige look down on him.


    Upon hearing his words, Paige ran off with a flushed face. Only Heather knew how much of a yboy


    Leon was, who constantly flirted around with women.
